In both anime there are: * Brutal worlds where characters have to kill to stay alive. * Revenge for the lost ones. * Beautiful visuals (same studio). So if you like the elements mentioned you should definitely check them out.

Can't believe I didn't make this recommendation already. Eren and Thorfinn are so similar it's not even funny. Both series tackle some of the same concepts, especially Freedom in a Cruel World. Plus it's WIT Studio.

Both MCs struggled with a cruel childhood leading to losing their parents. Also, MCs are very well written and give similar vibes.

-Both main characters are infected with the burning desire for revenge -Both have have similar worlds from a technological standpoint -Both have a few main characters but manage to make the side characters feel just as important and relevant

We follow a naïve but motivated protagonist that learns and changes as the series goes on in an unforgiving world.

As other recommendations have said, these shows were made by the same studio and have too many similar qualities to count. I can almost guarantee that if you like one of these series, you will the other. Similarities include: - a revenge-motivated protagonist with unique natural ability for combat - similar protagonists as a whole. honestly - blurred moral lines - violence - similar art and combat scenes - unique setting. Vinland Saga is a rare historical anime surrounding what best is summarized as the Viking age, while Attack on Titan appears to be in a foreign alternative universe that shares some similarities to medieval England.

Blood, blades and vengeance. A young boy lives a peaceful life, dreaming of adventure and glory. It finds him, ripping his world apart with visceral cruelty. Left with nothing but his hatred, he takes up a sword and vows to carve a path through the world that wronged him.

-darker stories and worlds -same studio (Wit Studio) -both are somewhat grounded in history (German architecture and Nordic Vikings and combat) -have likable side characters -protagonists who want revenge

These two shows are really awesome, and I just want more people to watch Vinland Saga. Vinland Saga has the same qualities as Attack on Titan, both are action-packed, thrilling anime with a deep plot. They both have political intrigue, and lastly they both have similar character and story arcs throughout the show

While not sharing a similar plot or setting, both Vinland Saga and Shingeki no Kyojin are Wit Studios' magnum opuses; two action anime with gore elements, a deep history, beautiful visuals, a wide cast of characters, great character development and a great soundtrack. Both anime also share many VAs and stylistic similarities in general.

Both of the series are similar because their genre is War and chaos.

They are similar in themes, both talk about reality of war and present it in a serious manner. Another thing these two have in common are amazingly built characters. I'm not talking only about mains, side characters are also very well written. Each character has their own story and self development.

-They both have a young male protagonist who wants to avenge his dead parent -Both Eren (AOT protagonist) and Thorfinn (VS protagonist) do have anger issues -Also, you watch both of them growing up in the show and they both have amazing character development -They both realize that revenge is pointless -Both have to do with "slavery" -Both have lots of blood, cool fights, death, op characters and wars -Lastly, they will both give you depression

Both anime come from the same study Beautiful visuals Very good and excellent way to tell the story Characters with excellent development Although the story is based on the protagonist, he is not the only one with weight in the plot Excellent fight scenes

Vinland Saga (in addition to Owari no Seraph which has many recommendations that you should check out) is made by Wit Studio. - wit studio tends to animate lots of manga/lightnovels that have similar genres. -art style similar The protagonists of VS and SnK are both soooo annoying. -They each have something they want to kill: Eren=titans, cause they killed his mom Thorfinn= askella, because he (his followers) killed his dad. -Askellad and Levi are very similar. Cold asf, don't mind killing everything in their path, dark pasts, etc. -lots of killing

They both have a similar setting and events similar to our real world. They both have amazing character writings especially for the main character.

Perfectly matches each other for revenge. In Attack on titan, Eren Jaeger seeks revenge for his mothers death and the destruction of his home town done by the human eating giants known as "Titans" He sweared to kill every single Titan to bring the freedom of all the people inside the huge walls they used to live in for protecting themselves from Titans. Again, in Vinland Saga Thorfinn seeks revenge for his fathers death by killing Askellad,who killed him. In future both of them starts to know their own identities clearly and the past life of their people.

These two anime series are actually from the same company! I feel like Vinland saga is underrated because of Shingeki. Don't get me wrong, Shingeki is amazing but I really liked Vinland as much as I did for Shingeki. They are both action animes with Vinland Saga being a historical anime about vikings. Both have very deep messages and.. oh gosh.. a lot of killing. Anyways, plz watch Vinland! (also, can't wait for season 2!)

both are in medieval settings, badass characters, brutal action, good world building

A wonderful combination of good story line with outstanding action. It tells the journey of young boy who is thrown into difficult circumstances due to war. The best thing is the anime is loosely based on history. It is a highly underrated anime if you like dark action genre. If you've watch Attack On Titans , you simply cannot miss this.

Both take place in medieval times. It has an amazing history, epic fights, incredible soundtrack, and they are also animated by the same studio.

As popular as it is, Vinland Saga is still yet another underrated masterpiece. As far as the first season, Vinland Saga has had a beautifully accurate anime adaptation, leaving the viewer awestruck, dumbfounded, and at a loss of mere words all at the end of almost every episode. If you enjoy war, plot, foreshadowing, confusion, betrayal, and the creation of a potentially 'false' fantasy dreamland, Vinland Saga is a must watch.

Both stories follow enraged protagonists who experience violence & chaos before undergoing major changes to their character. The stories also have underlying anti-violence messages

- mc eren and mc thorfinn same vibes - gore - many battle scenes - starts with revenge against something/someone - good animation

The main characters share some similarities. - They experience something traumatic that fuels their goals - They're both quite headstrong and driven - Both can appear annoyingly reckless at times They have the same animation studio as well, so if you like the artstyle you should definitely check out the other one.

If you like the bloody complex and grounded politics and action of Attack On Titan, you will most likely love Vindland Saga

both has same start the protagonist loses a family member and changes completely. the action,adventure and the world is well created just like attack on titan if you are fan of viking and fighting Vinland saga is for you.

The same studio that animated snk, the main character is so cold and has a monstrous development throughout the anime. The protagonist is also an unparalleled genius, always one step ahead of the others

- First of all, they both are Seinen anime series. - They are both animated by WIT Studio, in my opinion, this studio animated pretty well as it portrayed Vinland Saga and Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin, to be ancient themed. Modern technologies were not invented in their timelines, therefore they had to use full strength to fight against someone, not rely on robots or high tech meccha stuff or MHA superpowers. - Character development, Attack on titan has one of the best character developments, as well as Vinland Saga, if you really enjoy watching a character's growth that rises rapidly, then Vinland Saga/AOT is yours to enjoy for sure! - Both of these shows have really well written characters, you really ought to check them out. - It probably isn't the genre but i would consider these two anime to be reverse psychological, I really felt the hatred of the characters and their tenacity of seeking revenge upon a certain enemy.

A man's pursuit to find the meaning of freedom and peace with two different perspectives, for one everyone is his enemy and for the other no one is his enemy.

war, military and story writing and character design share similarities

One prominent similarity lies in the exceptional character development of their main protagonists. Vinland Saga follows the journey of Thorfinn, a young Viking seeking vengeance for his father's death. Attack on Titan focuses on Eren Yeager, a determined youth who wants to free his people from oppression. Both Thorfinn and Eren undergo significant personal growth throughout their respective narratives, driven by their intense motivations and the challenges they face. Their complex character arcs allow readers to connect deeply with their struggles, ideals, and transformations. The depth and thematic complexity found in both stories are additional parallels. Vinland Saga delves into topics such as pacifism, honor, and the cyclical nature of violence. It explores the contrast between personal desires and societal expectations. Similarly, Attack on Titan explores themes of freedom, morality, and the blurred lines between heroes and villains. Both series pose thought-provoking questions about the nature of humanity, the complexities of war, and the search for purpose in a chaotic world. Overall, Vinland Saga and Attack on Titan share compelling similarities, such as: incredible dialogues, breathtaking moments, epic journeys, and profound character development.

Generational works of fine art which are complex yet simple, gruesome yet wholesome, dreadful.. and yet hopeful. The main goal of said shows is not to show you character X fighting character Y with some mixed spices, like what most shonens do, especially nowadays, but rather to enlighten you with a tale that's ribbed by many thought-provoking philosophical questions, and moral teachings. (Contains spoilers from here on) Eren is quite the opposite of Thorfinn, but they share the same end goal; to have a world that treats them like actual human beings, devoid of oppression, torture, killing. Terminologically, utopia. However, as it appears Eren is far from being faithful to that road, which is something to be presumed, given those who form their goals through their own unrealistic desires would likely end up in the abyss of their delusion. Hence, he ultimately ended up getting consumed by his own values and got dragged into the world of evil. He is morally corrupt and does his best to protect his people, even if it means wiping off the globe. That is the philosophy of his character, as opposed to our beloved Thorfinn. Realistically, utopia is a semi-impossible thing to achieve. Hence, one failed to achieve that; or rather, was destined to fail. This is the end message of AoT. Utopia is impossible. War wages from the tiniest of conflicts, and one war leads to another war. Every war ultimately results in deaths of thousands, if not millions of innocents. Hence hatred and grudges are generated, which will span for generations to come, leading to many other wars and many innocent lives being forcibly taken. One tiny conflict could create all of that. The other one is still trying to create that pacifist everlasting peaceful land, and we are yet to know if he has succeeded in that. That's why we got to follow his journey. Eren was born pure, became a monster. Thorfinn was born a monster, became pure.

In an action-packed violent anime made by the same studio as the first 3 seasons of aot, Vinland saga has brilliant story, incredible animation, and a soundtrack fitting of a great show. With revenge, tons of deaths, etc. this is a great anime. The next season being animated by the studio that animated the fourth season of aot, it is sure to be brutal and great.

Both are darker animes that focus on a group of people fighting for their survival. In Vinland Saga, it is against other Viking clans, and in Shingeki no Kyojin, it is against the Titans. There is also some sort of betrayal/mystery element in both plots as well. The art style for Vinland Saga, however, makes things appear brighter than they actually are while still having that dark undertone, which gives off a different feel compared to Shingeki no Kyojin's art style where everything appears dreary.

-Action-packed -Gory -Amazing storyline -Classics/masterpieces -Killer opening sequences -Times where you want to yell at the main characters -Makes you think about some deeper stuff than you would expect going into it -You would not want to live in the world/anime, because you would not survive, haha.

Both shows have similar and amazing graphics.. both are super intense and bloody..

An epic and complex story spanning years, with similar themes such as revenge and morality. Additionally, the protagonist is quite similar to that of AOT in the beginning, and it is fascinating to see how their arc differs as it progresses. Lots of action, emotion, and worldbuilding as well.

both are great anime about revenge, freedom, war, etc... and both of the earlier seasons for both shows are made by Wit Studio with high-quality animation.

This is defenetly a hot take, but i feel like both series start the same, they drift in a completly oppisite direction, the further you get in, but i feel like you can understand why the Mc's acted the way they both did. I would recomend to watch both, to see both sides of a coin, the other series will give the opposite possibility on how the Mc's could handle the situation. If this doesn't make sense, both series are still in the top, so you won't regrett spending time watching.

Looking for another masterpiece for the mature guys where the story is filled with unpredictable twists and you just get amazed by what's going to happen next? Want brilliant character design, depth and development like some of those great shows? The plot might not be as complex as in AoT as you'd see later, but the character complexity outweighs it by a far edge. (ermm idk the perfect idiom but-- you just get what im trying to tell, okay?) The same studios which animated AoT- Wit studio and Mappa bring you another thought-provoking story with the same quality, compelling you to dive into your ideals, with two protagonists who keep struggling to live in a harsh and cruel world, for a similar reason, only to AVENGE. For those super analytical people who like to learn about human characters and beliefs, these two shows are if not, then one of THE best examples, hell, I'd even say perfect. Ngl, not jumping onto the next episode was difficult, the same feeling as in AoT, so if you have good willpower, DO NOT binge watch it. Especially, towards the end of the season, I'd prefer that you keep thinking about how this show gives us the one of the best messages delivered in all of anime. Eren and Thorfinn, the two protagonists who may look similar at first glance, may choose different paths later ahead on in life, making a great example of comparing and contrasting. A bunch of questions which arose in my mind after watching them, you MAY NOT want to read them, if you want to explore the depths of your mind on your own-- Who are the enemies and why are we fighting them? Are there even enemies out there? Is what we are doing all our life really worth it, does it make our life meaningful? How bad can people get? How good can people get? Now, I don't want to spoil the whole story, because this is just a little less than what I'd heard about Vinland Saga before I started, and I gotta give kudos to it because it has taught me one of the best things in my life. Personally, I love how the mangaka presented the story to get the message delivered, making it even better in the anime. Your opinion might or might not be different, so if you care about finding what a purpose in life means, you'd definitely love to give it a try. Vinland Saga might be slow in the first few (3 or so) episodes, but after that, the story just gets Breathtaking. I wish you a good journey as you are about to change yourself for the greater good. Remember the wise words that you'll hear in the 1st or 2nd episode- "You have no enemies" because this is where AoT and Vinland Saga split on crossways. Good luck. Signing off, a random person on the internet who wants to help.
